Can soaking feet in vinegar essence cure toenail fungus?

Vinegar foot soak may have a certain auxiliary effect in treating mild cases of onychomycosis (fungal nail infection), as the acetic acid in vinegar can kill or inhibit the growth of fungi. However, for severe or long-standing cases of onychomycosis, the effect may be limited. A comprehensive approach should be adopted for treating fungal nail infections, such as using antifungal medications, keeping the feet clean and dry, and regularly trimming and cleaning the infected nails.

If symptoms persist or worsen, prompt medical attention should be sought.
